I remember staring at the stars as a child, and trying to grasp the concept of infinity. From science class I knew that our earth is really a tiny speck in the universe. Our vast solar system is only a small part of our galaxy and there are many galaxies far larger. What really got to me was thinking that if I could travel faster than the speed of light, no matter how far I would go there was always more. Infinity made my head spin!

We humans have limitations, but God is infinite. His infinity means that he never began and that he will never end.

One of the true miracles of Christmas is that this infinite, eternal God chose to reveal himself to us at a moment in time – by sending his son, Jesus, to earth.
